COPY That: Re-thinking Pyelonephritis Protocols in the Emergency Department
About this episode
Dr Gabor discusses treatment recommendations for pyelonephritis in the emergency department, focusing on antibiotic resistance and alternative treatments.
Pyelonephritis is a commonly treated diagnosis in the emergency department. With resistance rates climbing to the first-line recommended fluoroquinolones and Bactrim, are other antibiotics appropriate in treating pyelonephritis? Join Dr Gabor as she discusses this article and its treatment recommendations for outpatient pyelonephritis with cephalosporins and how it compares to treatment with the more traditional fluoroquinolones / bactrim route.
